If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to knit brioche, we designed this headband pattern for YOU! Squishy brioche stitches make for a cosy accessory that’s as functional as it is stylish — keep your ears toasty warm this season.

Learn to knit brioche on a small, manageable project! The Northwind headband is worked in brioche stitch, worked flat. The headband begins and ends with a stockinette tube. To complete the project you’ll twist this tube and graft the ends together. The brioche stitch fans out on either side, almost like a bow.
